ultracalming serum concentrate

The antidote for skin sensitivity: a super-concentrated serum that helps calm, restore and defend sensitized skin. Help build skin's tolerance to ease discomfort of stressed, reactive skin with collagen-stimulating peptides. Our exclusive UltraCalming Complex contains Oat and botanical actives that work below the surface to interrupt inflammatory triggers that lead to sensitization, while helping to minimize discomfort, burning and itching. Restore skin's natural lipid barrier and help defend against future assaults with Oil of Evening Primrose, Sunflower Seed and Avocado extracts.

Although there is no standard for establishing a gluten-free designation for topical skin care products, independent laboratory testing confirms that this formula surpasses the US FDA (Food and Drug Administration) ingestible standards and can therefore be considered gluten-free.

ultracalming™

Itching, burning, stinging and redness are the obvious signs of sensitive skin. The triggers behind these sensations are less clear: genetics, hormones, stress, chemical assaults, foods and even aggressive skin treatments can intensify skin’s highly reactive state.
The common thread behind irritation, flushing and stinging is inflammation. When paired with the loss of skin’s protective barrier, skin health is compromised and becomes highly reactive.

I use this every morning after washing my face with the ultra calming cleanser. I've used barrier repair and super sensitive shield spf30 but ultra calming serum concentrate by far gives the best results. Leaves my skin soft and reduces redness. I only wish it was more consumer friendly when it comes to cost!

I recently had an intense facial and combined with the cold, dry winter weather, my skin was red and irritated. This serum calms and soothes my skin and is a nice non-greasy base layer before moisturizing. I highly recommend it!

Never say never! Because even the most resilient skin like mine can experience sensitized from over exfoliation through any reaction I never had before. This product is the antidote for sensitive and sensitized skin! Its immediately soothes and calms the skin. It's a must product for everyone to have.

I hope that the new packaging of this product helps how the products stays on the shelf because the old tube was just terrible. It would gush out and be completely separated. It was calmin on the skin but it was a messy ordeal to actually get it onto the skin. Just use the barrier repair.

The sticker shock on that price tag is real but little goes a long way! I use this only on the areas of my face that are affected during dermatitis flareups (for me this is my cheeks and temples) and it's consistently one of the few products that doesn't sting or make the redness and discomfort worse. I'll keep purchasing this as long as it's available, it's really a game changer.

Finally I've found the perfect product to go along with my Retin-A treatment. It takes care of the skin irritation, the itching and the redness beautifully. It takes away COMPLETELY the discomfort of the treatment. Now I'm able to continue my treatment without interruptions caused by retin-a's aggressive action on the skin. I could not be happier!

Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. You can use Ultra Calming Serum Concentrate first and follow with Barrier Repair next.

Kind Regards,Bernadette

Q:

Will this serum be compatible with my nightly routine, and, if so, where does it fit in? My Routine: wash with Special Cleansing Gel, tone with Active Moist, eyes with Age Reversal Eye Complex, and finally moisturize with Skin Smoothing Cream. Thank you!

Ultra Calming Serum Concentrate is very concentrated with potent ingredients. We offer Overnight Retinol Repair, which comes with a soothing Buffer Cream that offers just the right amount of calming ingredients to compliment the retinol.

Kind Regards,Bernadette

Q:

Can this be used for acne? My daughter was prescribed retin-a, and it has destroyed her face. I'm thinking this would be a great way to soothe her skin, but I do not want to cause her further breakouts. Thanks in advance...

Yes, i use it all over my face… even on my eyelids and lips. just be careful not to get it into your eye :)

A:

Yes, Ultra Calming Serum Concentrate can be used under the eye to address irritations and dryness however, we do have Ultrasmoothing Eye Serum specifically to address puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles for someone with a sensitive skin. It depends on what your main concern is which product would be best. Please see our Ultra Calming segment for more information on both of these products.
